🎄 Farmers Markets & Local Finds
Holiday craft shows, spring teas, antique fairs, dinner dances, and health expos — Pembroke Pines' seasonal events calendar is packed with reasons to get out and connect with your community.
📅 Annual Traditions
These aren't weekly markets — they're special annual and seasonal events that make Pembroke Pines feel like a community. Most are hosted at the Southwest Focal Point (SWFP) Community Center, a hub for city programming open to all residents.
The Southwest Focal Point Community Center hosts an annual Holiday Open House each December featuring a craft show with local artisans, seasonal vendors, festive décor, baked goods, and holiday gift shopping. It's one of the city's longest-running seasonal traditions — a warm, community-focused event where you can find unique handcrafted gifts and enjoy the holiday spirit.
The Southwest Focal Point Community Center hosts seasonal spring and Halloween tea parties open to the public. These charming, well-attended events feature themed decorations, tea service, refreshments, and a festive community atmosphere. A unique Pembroke Pines tradition — the Halloween tea in particular is a local favorite with creative spooky-themed treats and décor.
The SWFP Community Center hosts regular flea markets and antique shows throughout the year featuring vendors from across Broward County. Unlike weekly farmers markets, these are special event markets with a rotating cast of vendors selling antiques, collectibles, vintage items, crafts, and secondhand treasures. Held indoors — making them a reliable option rain or shine.
The SWFP Community Center hosts dinner dances with live entertainment, seasonal celebrations, health fairs, and themed events throughout the year. These community gatherings are open to the public and draw a lively, multigenerational crowd. A unique way to experience Pembroke Pines community spirit — good food, live music, and friendly faces.
The SWFP Community Center's Annual Health Fair and Open House brings together local health providers, wellness vendors, community organizations, and informational booths. Free health screenings, wellness resources, fitness demonstrations, and vendor giveaways make this a valuable community resource — not just for seniors but for anyone interested in health and wellness.
Broward County's seasonal craft shows and green markets pop up throughout the holiday season, blending fresh seasonal produce with handcrafted gifts from local artisans. These holiday markets are especially abundant in November and December — keep an eye on community calendars and city event pages. The combination of holiday shopping and fresh market produce makes for a perfect festive weekend outing.
